Ep 356: Kerin White, Brian McEvoy (January 9, 2012)

Rounds: Here.


The SBS website continues to be cooperative about showing the video; I'll stop mentioning it unless it turns bad again.

Kerin really likes the works of Stephen King and Dean Koontz; she's always "hanging out for the next book to be released".  She likes the genre, and also that there is often a twist in their stories.

Challenging Kerin is construction worker Brian McEvoy.  Brian is Irish, but his wife was born in Melbourne; four years ago they decided to take a year's break and visit Melbourne, and they've stayed ever since.  Brian likes Melbourne a lot more than Ireland; he remarks that the weather is much better.


It's neck and neck from the two contestants for six rounds, with decent finds throughout from both.  Kerin just manages to draw away in round seven, and then finds an excellent solution in round eight to deliver the knockout blow.  Neither contestant can solve the conundrum -- Brian buzzes in with an incorrect guess -- and Kerin gets her fourth win, 63 to 46.

I had a bad miss in the second round, and made a mess of the conundrum similarly to Brian.  Fortunately some other solid finds in the letters rounds kept me ahead for the win.

As usual, details after the jump.
